"SIXTY YEARS TOGETHER"

Dedicated With Love To My Husband

Nelson Stanley Hill

On Our 60th Anniversary (August 18, 2006)

You were twenty-five, My Dear, and I was twenty-three -

When we declared our wedding vows that day.

Now that you're eighty-five ... and I'm eighty-three -

We know how quickly time slips away!

Our meeting each other was destined to be -

And a knowing God planned it that way.

He chose me for you ... and you for me -

And He gave us "a love that would stay"!

We have honored our vows "to have and to hold" -

And surprisingly the time has gone fast!

We are thankful that together we are growing old -

With happy memories of the past!

In our 60 years ... we've had blessings galore -

And our family is The Very Best!

With loved ones and friends, our blessings soar -

And indeed we are Truly Blessed!
